About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule, which
helps to prevent the suction force from weakening. In
addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool. If the battery cartridge is left
inserted, the cleaner may start unexpectedly and result
in injury.
• Clean the mesh filter of the cyclone attachment and
the filters of the cleaner unit when they become
clogged. Continued use in the clogged condition may
result in heating or smoke.
